A unique opportunity was held at M.G.’s Pizza on Main Street for Robstown residents.
This opportunity was that CHISPA TX hosted a Robstown ISD candidate forum.
A moderator asked questions that were submitted online for candidates to answer. There was also time set aside for the audience to ask their own questions.
The non-profit organization sent invitations to all nine candidates, but only three were available to attend as the others had prior engagements. Those running had the opportunity to speak to potential voters and talk about why they wanted to run for the position.
Fernando Arevalo“When you have people running for office, it is important for people to know who is running, and how they are going to serve the community,” CHISPA TX Program Director Eilda Castillo said. “The community should have that opportunity to identify the candidates, so they can make that decision, and hopefully it’ll inspire them to take part in the electoral process.”
